Ilaml.There is a class of railway employes,almost entirely unknown to passengers,whose responsibility is so much greater,mid vvhv-e slightest omission mightjeopardize the lives of people on trainsmore than any oversight on the part ofconductors or engineers, that it is indeedstrange that they are so seldom mentionediu the public prints. This class is thetrain dispatchers, whose every order isimplicitly olieyed by trainmen: and whilethe crew of one train is responsible for thetnov einents of that train nlone. the dispat'he;' holds in his bunds the lives ofevery individual on every train on theroad; nml on a ro.ul having n large trafficie duties imiosed ou him are very greatand ardiUMs.His iKisition in the railway service istiuiiiie. ere nil trains running on timenud provided for on the jieriodicnl timetable issued by the company, he wouldhave no duties to (lerfonii; but Unfits willget delayed and (scasions will arise requiring e.xtra trains, or trains withouttiny spudded time or rights, tolie run overthe loud, and then his services are necessary to avoid hours of delay.All trains ou railroads are divided Inclasses, according to their importance:generally two, passenger and height,and all trains of one class running in aSccitled direction have the right of thetoad, or need keep no lookout for trains ofthe same or it lower class running lu theopposite direction. Thus it is assumedthat ou a certain railroad trains runningeastward havethe right of vvayover trainsrunning westward, then an east lioundjmssenger train can run the whole lengthof the road in entire disregard nf all trains;another passenger train going west needonly to look out for the east liound passenger train, while the freight trainsmust keep out of the way of Isith passenger trains mid of the freight train whichis running In the direction presenlied ashaving the right of road.Kvcry one understands that all trainsare chartered, or have a time given forpassing cull station, which time can Inno instance Is- anticipated, and hence alltrainmen know where all other trainsought to lie at any jiarticular moment, ifon time, hut as trains frequently and generally get late, the train of inferior classmust luive its movement expedited bysome extraneous cause, or ft may Isi delaved for hours awattimr a train thut mayhave lien wrecked, or has been kept backfor some other of runny causes. Then theduties of the tram dispatcher are of importance He will probably give an orderto the delayed train by telegraph directlug it not to go lK-yond a certain placewhich lie thinks it cull reach without difficulty, and he directs the uprising trainto proceed to the same place and therepass the other train, and iu that mannerthe trains are enabled to pass each otherwithout any delay to either. Ills greatrcsiHiusibility consists in that he may havea doen other trains iu his charge at thesame time, and In directing one train togo beyond Its usual place to meet anotherhe may neglect to give nil order to thesecond train, ami in such an event a collislon would prolsibly ensue, lunch property be destroyed and probably lives bolosLIt will readily lie seen that the slightestmistake of a train disiiatchcr might causeserious results; nnci in this resi-et his resjioiisHiility' is proliably greater than thatof anv cither individual under whosecharge the public arc placed. I'hilailttl;phia Times.New tTert for the Shoe Ituttoller.It is ii singular fact that nine out of tenof the bums and tramps brought into thestation house have on their erson a shoebuttotier Xo matter w hut kind of shoesthey wear, still they have one of thesebiniple instruments. Lieut, llambrockdecided a week ago to make a collectionof the shoe buttoners taken from theprisoners brought into Hremeii streetstation In the seven days they numliereileighteen, and like vising ladies do withtheir strings of buttons, lie attni lied themtogether He has now 11 diaiu somethree feet iu length. A iieculinr thing isthat the hook end is K-ut into a variety ofshulK-s. The )ieuchaut for having buttoners attracted the attention of the detectives long ago, and it happened to striku.some bright minded )iol!cemun thatthe little instrument could lie madelo do the work ot a skeleton key. usfar as the locks in common use were conicrned. In reality, the shoe buttouer. Toall intents and purjioses was convertedinto a burglar's tool, aud still could liereadily passed on as a necessary impleineiit in arranging one's toilet. The sissesslou of a skeleton key is a seriousoffense mid carries with It ciiiivktioM of ajietial term The law, however, cannot regard the shoe buttouer as a contrabandnrticlc. and still the evil intending areaswell fortified with it ns with the burglar'sfavorite tool, since, when properly shuiieil,it does the work ecpially as well. The exIert can pick a lock with one of theselittle iron hooks with as much facility asf f he h.id a skeleton key, aud yet if caughtwith it in his pnsrsslon enjoys immunityfrom the statute covering the offense.Usually, when one of these instruments isfound on a pri-oner's iwrsoti it is thrownaway, or ierhaps given liack if the ownerIs releu.sed No doubt In the course of ayear several hundred are taken up by thepolice. The.'tmomit of theft thut couldbe traced to them would very probablyprove startling.
